Seabird Biology in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument Marine Science Lesson Plans about the Pacific Marine National Monuments: Options for Enhancing Ocean Literacy in the 7th through 12th Grade Classroom Laura K. Nelson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Marine Affairs University of Washington 2014 Committee: Marc L. Miller, Chair Terrie Klinger Maile Sullivan Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Marine and Environmental Affairs ©Copyright 2014 Laura K. Nelson University of Washington Abstract Marine Science Lesson Plans about the Pacific Marine National Monuments: Options for Enhancing Ocean Literacy in the 7th through 12th Grade Classroom. Laura K. Nelson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Marc L. Miller School of Marine and Environmental Affairs Abstract The ocean is one of the Earth’s defining features; it provides our world with variety of beneficial services like regulating climate, providing food, and is a source of wonder and inspiration. However, despite its size and powerful nature it is not immune to degradation. One of the greatest risks to our ocean is a general lack of understanding amongst the public of basic ocean processes and how an individual’s actions contribute to environmental harm. In the United States, a low level of ocean-centered education in the K-12 classroom contributes to the lack of ocean literacy. This study presents a review of current levels of ocean literacy in the United States and highlights the benefits of increased levels of ocean science education. Barriers, ii challenges, and potential solutions for the increased implementation of ocean literacy in the classroom are identified. One of the barriers identified is lack of appropriate curricula available to teachers. In response, this study presents a newly developed suite of lesson plans that fit into a variety of scientific disciplines that draw upon the systems of the Pacific Marine National Monuments as examples. Several example lessons are discussed as well as the educational research that influenced their design and the lesson development methodology. iii Acknowledgments: I would like to acknowledge and thank the colleagues, friends, and family who provided assistance and encouragement through the process of writing this thesis. I am particularly thankful to Marc Miller who helped to guide me through the process of developing a thesis based on education and encouraged me to pursue this topic. The expertise and comments provided by committee members Terrie Klinger and Maile Sullivan was instrumental in the writing of this thesis. I would also like to extend a large thank you to Mary Engels. Her leadership and knowledge on the NOAA lesson plan project has been invaluable and I have learned a lot from her about the process of curriculum development and educational pedagogy. In addition, thank you to the NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands Regional Office for funding the lesson plan development. Thank you to the other students in my advising group, Adi Hanein and Zach Meyer, whose examples and assistance provided guidance as I turned my outline into a final product. Their encouragement helped make the process easier and our mutual goal setting made the writing feel like a team effort. I am also especially grateful to the UW Biology Department, specifically Eileen O’Conner and John Parks, for appreciating my work as a teaching assistant and giving me the opportunity to fund my education with that position. I believe the teaching experience will be valuable in my future outside of the university. This thesis would not have been possible without the support of my family, friends, and those specifically mentioned above. Your help and support allowed me to produce a thesis that I am proud of and that represents my interests in the ocean and education. iv Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgments: ........................................................................................................................ iv List of Figures ............................................................................................................................... vii Acronyms ..................................................................................................................................... viii Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 1.

  • Tube-Nosed Seabirds) Unique Characteristics
    PELAGIC SEABIRDS OF THE CALIFORNIA CURRENT SYSTEM & CORDELL BANK NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY Written by Carol A. Keiper August, 2008 Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary protects an area of 529 square miles in one of the most productive offshore regions in North America. The sanctuary is located approximately 43 nautical miles northwest of the Golden Gate Bridge, and San Francisco California. The prominent feature of the Sanctuary is a submerged granite bank 4.5 miles wide and 9.5 miles long, which lay submerged 115 feet below the ocean’s surface. This unique undersea topography, in combination with the nutrient-rich ocean conditions created by the physical process of upwelling, produces a lush feeding ground. for countless invertebrates, fishes (over 180 species), marine mammals (over 25 species), and seabirds (over 60 species). The undersea oasis of the Cordell Bank and surrounding waters teems with life and provides food for hundreds of thousands of seabirds that travel from the Farallon Islands and the Point Reyes peninsula or have migrated thousands of miles from Alaska, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Cordell Bank is also known as the albatross capital of the Northern Hemisphere because numerous species visit these waters. The US National Marine Sanctuaries are administered and managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who work with the public and other partners to balance human use and enjoyment with long-term conservation. There are four major orders of seabirds: 1) Sphenisciformes – penguins 2) *Procellariformes – albatross, fulmars, shearwaters, petrels 3) Pelecaniformes – pelicans, boobies, cormorants, frigate birds 4) *Charadriiformes - Gulls, Terns, & Alcids *Orders presented in this seminar In general, seabirds have life histories characterized by low productivity, delayed maturity, and relatively high adult survival.

  • Albatross Or Mōlī (Phoebastria Immutabilis) Black-Footed Albatross Or Ka’Upu (Phoebastria Nigripes) Short-Tailed Albatross (Phoebastria Albatrus)
    Hawaiian Bird Conservation Action Plan Focal Species: Laysan Albatross or Mōlī (Phoebastria immutabilis) Black-footed Albatross or Ka’upu (Phoebastria nigripes) Short-tailed Albatross (Phoebastria albatrus) Synopsis: These three North Pacific albatrosses are demographically similar, share vast oceanic ranges, and face similar threats. Laysan and Black-footed Albatrosses nest primarily in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, while the Short-tailed Albatross nests mainly on islands near Japan but forages extensively in U.S. waters. The Short-tailed Albatross was once thought to be extinct but its population has been growing steadily since it was rediscovered in 1951 and now numbers over 3,000 birds. The Laysan is the most numerous albatross species in the world with a population over 1.5 million, but its trend has been hard to determine because of fluctuations in number of breeding pairs. The Black-footed Albatross is one-tenth as numerous as the Laysan and its trend also has been difficult to determine. Fisheries bycatch caused unsustainable mortality of adults in all three species but has been greatly reduced in the past 10-20 years. Climate change and sea level rise are perhaps the greatest long-term threat to Laysan and Black-footed Albatrosses because their largest colonies are on low-lying atolls. Protecting and creating colonies on higher islands and managing non-native predators and human conflicts may become keys to their survival.

  • Seabird Protection & Avoidance Tips
    Seabird Protection & Avoidance Tips Seabirds live in a variety of habitats in and around shallow water and coastal environments. They represent a vital part of marine ecology and are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. In fact, most of the 312 species of seabirds you may encounter while fishing are likely to be protected by law, with some classified as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act. NOAA Depending on the geographic region, fishermen in the U.S. can FISHERIES observe species of Albatross, Cormorants, Gannet, Loons, Pelicans, Puffins, Sea Gulls, Storm-Petrels, Shearwaters, and SERVICE Terns, among others. Office of Sustainable Fisheries Be Aware of Seabird Behavior Seabirds feed on smaller fish that most anglers use for bait, so they typically won’t challenge a fisherman for his catch, however, the seabird’s hunting methods still put them in danger of getting hooked or entangled in a fisherman’s line. Many seabirds feed on krill, fish, squid or other prey items at the ocean's surface, while some, such as Cormorants, are known to dive to depths of more than 100 ft below the waves to catch a fish. In another technique, seabirds in flight will “plunge dive” into the water in pursuit of a fast-moving fish. Brown Pelicans, for example, can make vertical dives from more than 70 feet above the water when chasing their prey. Young seabirds, especially young pelicans, are particularly susceptible to being ensnared by fishing line. What If I Accidentally Hook a Seabird? HOW CAN I HELP SEABIRDS? In the unfortunate event of a hooked seabird, don't cut or break the line.

Lena Loop Rd, Juneau, AK 99801, USA 3US Fish and Wildlife Service, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99503, USA All three North Pacific albatross species forage in marine waters off Alaska. Despite considerable foraging range overlap, however, the three species do show broad-scale niche segregation. Short-tailed albatross (Phoebastria. albatrus) range most widely throughout Alaska, extensively using the continental shelf break and slope regions of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Archipelago in particular, and the Gulf of Alaska to a lesser extent. Due to small population size, however, short-tailed albatrosses are generally far less prevalent than the other two species. Black-footed albatrosses (P. nigripes) are most abundant in the Gulf of Alaska, and in late summer near some Aleutian passes, occupying foraging habitat similar to short-tailed albatrosses.
